While thumbing through a magazine, I came across Mitchell's ad selling original mosin 91/30 pi rifles. They stated "these historic rifles ate being destroyed under pressure from the u.n." What a bunch of crap. It's one more reason not to like the u.n.

Saw that ad too. Don't know the truth one way or the other, but i do know Mitchell's Mausers has been called out repeatedly in the past for deceptive marketing and other unscrupulous sales practices (selling refinished Yugo M24 Mausers as original K98s, etc
)

It didn't make sense to me, but lots of crap like that doesn't make any sense. I wouldn't put it past the u.n. because of the "threat" it puts on the powers that be with those evil weapons in the hands of citizens.
